My Lame Spouse
My Lame Spouse
You're still gritty
Though you've become lame,
Dear Darling!
For me, it's a matter of shame
With crutches you walk
Your sweet smiling talk,
Though crippled, you protect familial fort
Dear! Awesome is your whole hearted support
I admit
I was fully engrossed in worldly game,
Maddened me
Always after fame
My upsurges
I couldn't tame,
Isn't it Darling?
The matter of shame
Amazing your verve
Against my dampened nerve,
Your high spirited impulse
Oh! Poor my pulse
We are two wheels
Of our chariot familial,
But crippled your wheel
Really the matter crucial
Though you're impaired
Stout is your mind,
You can overcome odds
Of every kind
Though lame my spouse
Destiny's net I can browse,
One day we would find hopeful site
We would fly high like winner kite
